SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?

I'm thinking of trying out a solid state amp in place of my 300B SET, which is giving me some problems again and the builder is swamped so it's going to be awhile.

Suggestions? Speakers are 96dB 12" 2-way bass reflex studio monitors from a Japanese recording studio.

Just read coachpoconnor comments and agree wholeheartedly! I also have a Supratek preamp and synergy with both amps are excellent! 

The SIT-3 doesn't have much gain, so it is best with a Preamp that has gain on the higher side.

First Watt SIT-3. I mostly use my Coincident Frankenstein Mk.II 300b monoblocks The SIT-3 is also enjoyable! It has that nice SET type of sound, but isn't fleshed out as much in the midrange. For a solid state amp it is really great with a grain free presentation and nice tonality.

It works best with speakers between 4 and 8 ohms.
